David Beckham has never been one to go over the limit when it comes to buying cars.
This doesn’t take away from the fact that he has driven cars from the most luxurious brands,
although nowadays he is only seen with Maserati models because he is currently an ambassador of the Italian brand.
360 Spider F1
But before being seen with the latest Maserati, Beckham once gave in to the charm of owning a Ferrari.
Specifically, the former English footballer bought a 360 Spider in 2001, when he was still a Manchester United player.
He used it shortly before his last great successes in the United Kingdom, with the Premier League title in the 2000-2001 and 2002-2003 seasons, and with the title of Order of the British Empire awarded to him by Queen Elizabeth that last year.
But David Beckham’s destiny led him to wearing the shirt of Real Madrid, so a transfer to Los Blancos for 28 million euros meant that the English player joined the growing list of ‘galacticos’, which already included Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo Nazario.
Car stayed in the UK
The car is in perfect condition today, has been serviced at a specialist Ferrari workshop in the UK and has 12,826 km on it, only 126 km more than when it was announced last year, which we presume corresponds to bringing it to the shop and having it serviced.
Small drop in price
But a year and a half later it still hasn’t found a buyer. In fact, the price has even been lowered from almost 124,000 euros to 118,200 euros, which is not a considerable reduction either.
We checked the sales statistics for the Ferrari 360 over the last three years provided by specialist Hagerty and the usual rates are between 70,000 and 120,000, so the car is up for sale for a reasonable price. Especially considering the condition it is in and its low mileage.
As it is, the facts have shown in this year and a half that carrying the name of David Beckham is less interesting than some buyers and sellers presumed, in this case the British establishment Mugello Cars.
To put it another way, rather than a plus, it is an anecdote for those who might be interested in the car. And most probably it will end up being sold for the same price as if it belonged to an anonymous owner.
